Brer Roy,

Yep!, sometimes I sweat wondering when it will let me see the Log On
Screen so I can finally get to do something I turned it on for that I
wanted to do.

Yep!, Commodore even sold a Mouse that worked with GEOS.
IIRC CBM had two mouse models for sale, one of my friends got a
C= Mouse to use for GEOS.

GEOS had applications for Writing and Painting.
There were others but I'm not able to recall any others.
Probably Wikipedia has a Commodore GEOS page to tell all about it.

Anytime the Lights Blinked in my room, the C=64 and whatever I was
doing was lost.
If I was typing in a PRG from a Magazine I periodically Saved what
I was doing in case my A.C. Power was interupted.

Last year when I was using the Commodore 64 for something, my wife
flipped the wall switch as she left my room, just a short BLINK!,
but the Boot Screen came up on my C=64.

Since that happened I ran a extension cord from the UPS over to the
Power Strip the Commodore gear is plugged in to.

I looked and Yes!, Windows 3.1 has a Registry.

You're Right!, it Should be on another HDD instead of me putting
it on the Desktop as MS suggests to do.
THANKS!
